At its March 2013 meeting, the Board addressed the matter of information disclosure during its deliberations under the agenda item on additional rules of procedure. Subsequently, the Board adopted decision B.01-13/01, which requested the Interim Secretariat, under the guidance of the Co-Chairs, to prepare a document on information disclosure, including webcasting, for the June 2013 Board meeting.

The purpose of this document is to outline the matters to be considered by the Board relating to information disclosure, including the means of disclosure, taking into consideration the information disclosure policies of other relevant entities. The document also aims at facilitating the decision-making by the Board on how to proceed in developing a Fund policy on information disclosure.
